Mizuho Financial Group Inc. (8411.TO) said Friday it will
appoint Deputy President Takashi Tsukamoto as president of the
financial group.
A management reshuffle at the Japanese financial group was
widely expected as a number of top executives there assumed their
current positions in 2002.
The appointment will take effect April 1. Current President
Terunobu Maeda will become chairman.
Mizuho also said it will replace the presidents of its two core
banking units.
Mizuho Corporate Bank Deputy President Yasuhiro Sato will become
the president of the wholesale and investment banking unit and
Mizuho Bank Deputy President Satoru Nishibori will be the president
of the retail banking unit.
Current presidents Hiroshi Saito at Mizuho Corporate Bank and
Seiji Sugiyama at Mizuho Bank will also be named chairmen at each
bank.
Until now, the post of chairman at the holding company and the
two banks had been vacant.
